Diabetes
As a type 2 diabetic, is there any food suggestions to keep sugars relatively low or help out the mitochondria. Also how to avoid sugars? Like i genuinely liked to know. Besides sweets. I’m thinking like black rice and black beans for carbs but also would like some more suggestions. To keep the lifestyle going.
Weight loss & diabetes
My partner has type 1 diabetes and has finally decided to join me in the gym (I’m super passionate, been going for years) and I was wondering how to best support him in his fat loss and fitness journey. I want to help him calculate calories and support his better diet, without overwhelming him or doing things that are bad for him due to being diabetic. Any advice?
Ice Baths - Yeah or Nah
Ok, it seems like every man and his dog are getting an ice bath these days. I see friends and family get up at 3:30 a.m. (not all get up that early), jump in the iced water. Apparently, it is good for brown fat cells and mental health. I'm a sceptic Firstly because I don't have one and it doesn't seem too enjoyable to sit in iced water. In a way, it would make sense if you were sore. However, most of the people I see doing it don't even work out. Do you need to have an ice bath in the morning? So many questions sorry How does it compare to stretching? Or doing a mobility session like yoga or pilates? Why does it need to be cold? Is it a fad, or is it something I should consider?
EAAs...thoughts?
Supplements are supplements and I think we're clear on how they can be beneficial in some areas (creatine, protein, etc) and a waste of money in others (Armra, super greens, fat burners, etc), but I don't hear enough scientific thinking behind EAA powders. Yes, EAAs are literally essential, but should we be supplementing with them to enhance protein synthesis? Do we get enough of them if we eat a lot of red meat? If we take something like dessicated liver caps?
